Playing career
Born in

Unable to prevent their relegation from the First Division that season, he contributed to their immediate promotion in 1902–03 as runners-up. He retired from football in 1906 following persistent injuries.[3] He returned to Brentford in November 1907 to play for the reserves and retired at the end of the 1907–08 season, later setting up in business in the town.[9]
